Question:
Can we bill the following injection codes for drug administration during a cardiac catheterization procedure?
| 96373 | Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection (specify substance or drug); intra-arterial |
| 96374 | Therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic injection (specify substance or drug); intravenous push, single or initial substance/drug |
Answer:
Current correct coding initiative (CCI) edits indicate that these codes are a component of the cardiac catheterization and coronary interventional codes and, therefore, should not be billed separately.
